Electrical Requirements For Your Air Conditioner

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS ARE DIFFERENT FOR THE TWO MODELS SHOWN ON THE COVER, DEPENDING ON THE AMPERE RATING OF YOUR UNIT. THE NUMBER OF AMPERES IS PRINTED ON THE SERIAL PLATE, ATTACHED TO THE FRONT OF THE UNIT, BEHIND THE FRONT PANEL (SEE PAGE 2).

OBSERVE ALL LOCAL GOVERNING CODES AND ORDINANCES

Do not, under any circumstances, remove the power supply cord ground prong.

RECEPTACLE WIRING

RECEPTACLE WIRING should be at least as large as 14 gauge. Use copper wire only. It is the

personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to provide proper and adequate receptacle wiring installed by a qualified electri-

cian. OBSERVE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL

CODE AND ALL LOCAL GOVERNING CODES AND ORDINANCES.

Electrical Requirements

A 115 volt (103.5 min., 126.5 max.) 60 hertz AC only, 15 ampere fused electrical supply is required (time delay fuse or time delay circuit breaker re- quired). It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only this appliance, be provided for models with serial plate amperes up through 7.5. A separate circuit is required for models with serial plate amperes of 7.6 through 72.0. Do not use an extension cord.

grounding type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician. See Figure 1.

ALTERNATE GROUNDING METHOD

If changing and properly grounding the wall receptacle is impossible and where local codes permit (consult your electrical inspector), a temporary adapter may be plugged into the existing 2-prong wall receptacle to mate with the 3-prong power supply cord. See Figure 2. THIS,

HOWEVER, IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

If this is done, you must connect the grounded eyelet on the adapter to the wall receptacle cover plate screw and from this same screw, you must connect a separate copper ground wire (#14 minimum) to a grounded cold water pipe.* See Figure 2. Do not ground to a gas supply pipe. Do not connect to electrical supply until appliance is permanently grounded.
